When driving and the road gets a bit rough the wheel is jerky af. I assume its just due to the fact that there is a much wide wheel/tire combo on there now.

If i let go of the wheel it will turn hard in whatever direction the road dictates much more so than stock.

Anyone else experience similar?

How do the achilles 123s feel? Was thinking of picking up a set for my stock wheels.

Its been a shitty few weeks weather wise here in the GTA as you know, they aren't the greatest in wet weather not horrible mind you, but now that the weather is getting better, you notice the difference when driving.

It does inspire a lot of confidence in turns. Lots of grip.

Overall I am pleased with the tires.

Is anyone running a bigger brake kit like Wilwood, AP or STI Brembos with the RPF1 +35's?

Is it possible or do none of the kits fit?

Not sure about Wilwood. But AP fits +35 offset. STI brembo requires a 8mm Spacer

Thanks for the pics. I knew this setup would look good on an asphalt. Suspension specs?
